The career that I chose is nurse. Nurses take care of sick or injured people. Nurses give people medicine, treat wounds, and give emotional support to patients and their families. They ask their patients about their symptoms and keep records. They also watch for signs that people are sick. Then, nurses usually help doctors examine and treat patients. Some nurses help to give tests to find out why people are sick. Nurses also teach people how to take care of themselves and their families. Some nurses teach people about diet and exercise and how to follow the doctors instructions. Nurses can focus on treating one type of patient, such as babies or children. They can also focus on one type of problem. Some focus on helping doctors during surgery and others work in emergency rooms or intensive care units. Many nurses spend a lot of time walking and standing. Nurses also need to be careful in order to stay safe. Nurses care for people who have diseases that they can catch and because patients need 24-hour care, hospital nurses often work nights, weekends, and holidays.
The education or traning you need to be a nurse is that you have to graduate from a nursing program and it takes about 2 years of college to mantain an associate degree in nursing, it takes about 4 years to finish a bachelor's degree in nursing, and a nursing diploma program usually takes about 3 years. Deciding what kind of training to get is important. Some career paths are open only to nurses who have a bachelor's degree. Nursing education includes taking classes and hands-on learning with experienced nurses in hospitals and other places. The salary range in May 2008, nurses had average yearly wages of $65,130. Two of the core subjects that are used are math and science. Usually nurses need to know and study anatomy, chemistry, nutrition, psychology, and the nursing theory, but after graduating, nurses need to pass a test to get a nursing license. Nurses have to take classes every few years to keep their skills current. The reason I chose nursing as a career is because I like taking care of people, I hate to be alone because I'm so talkitive, and I want to be just like my mom because she was a nurse too. I feel I would be good for nursing because I'm caring, volunteering, sweet, and devoted.
